10 EPS6V series Ebbert Collection Units (HK1062) Procedure 1. Verify that the incoming pressure is set to the recommended 90 PSI (6.20 BAR). 2. Unlock one side of the pintail collector box and watch the indicator. If vacuum pressure increases, the collector box muffler is plugged and preventing adequate ventilation. Remove and clean the muffler. 3. Figure 7a shows how the generator functions to produce vacuum at the inlet end of the stainless steel end cap. The solid black arrows represent incoming plant air pressure and how the air flow travels. Notice the point at which the air becomes compressed and must speed up as it moves over the small lip on the inner sleeve of the Ventura assembly. After the air pressure has moved past this area and is traveling faster, vacuum is created at the inlet of the end cap (see outline arrows). 4. Contamination can buildup on the Ventura assembly. (Figure 7b shows the two distinct areas where this buildup occurs.) Contamination may be due to dirt and oil buildup, as well as moisture in the main air lines. 5. To remove Ventura, disconnect the incoming air supply line and loosen the set screw on the mounting bracket (Figure 6). Slide the Vacuum Generator Assembly (Figure 5) out of the bracket. 6. Disassemble and clean all components (Figures 5 and 7b) where any buildup of contaminants is found. Thoroughly dry and reassemble.
